My Question of the Day for 04 January 2010 With A Twist
My Question of the Day: You decide to go out to the 24-hour supermarket late at night to pick up a few things to avoid the crowds. You park and begin walking toward the store. As you pass the back of one particular vehicle, movement catches your eye, and you look toward the car windows. As you walk closer to the car, you discern that all the windows are shut tight. When you get close enough to actually see through the windows, you realize there are three small children, all in pajamas, unattended and sleeping in the back seat of the vehicle. What do you do?
My Question of the Day With A Twist: YOU work the 11p-7a shift at a 24-hour supermarket. At around 9p, your babysitter calls and tells you s/he isn’t going to be able to come and watch your child(ren). You call everyone of whom you can think and everyone to whom they can think to refer you, but you can’t find a babysitter on such short notice. You have to get to work. This job is your sole source of income. You supervisor has made it clear that if you miss another day of work because of childcare issues, you will be terminated. What do you do?

I would call the police in the children in the car situation. As for the Babysitting gig, I would ask my neighbors since it would be during sleeping hours. Otherwise I wouldn’t go to work, and get fired.
